CW: Discussion of Rape

On this episode, we bring you another author interview with Winnie M Li, the author of ***Dark Chapter ***, a novel based loosely on the author's real life rape in Ireland. We talk to Winnie about her what it's like writing a story so close to her real life traumas and her decision to imagine the events from the perspective of her attacker.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
